SE1

In-ear headphones

We've been creating award winning audio products for nearly 50 years. Now in our pursuit of better sound for all, we've designed these headphones to bring your music to you in sublime quality wherever you are. Designed and engineered in London, SE1.

Charity

In February 2016 we launched our brand new in–ear monitors on a ‘pay what you choose’ basis to raise as much money for the UK-based National Foundation for Youth Music as possible. We raised an incredible £26,764.51 in just 21 hours. Thanks to this success, our in-ear monitors are back on sale in selected regions around the world, with 50% of proceeds going to charity!

In the U.S., we will be supporting two charities, Merit School of Music and Music Unites. For nearly 40 years, Merit School of Music has been providing music education to Chicago youth against the backdrop of limited, inconsistent funding for arts education in the city’s schools. The programs of the school, most of which are provided to students at little or no cost, provide a safe space for both musical and personal development.

COMPLETE CLARITY

The SE1s offer an extremely smooth and extended treble performance compared to other in-ear headphones. This brings an openness and delicacy in the high frequencies that is rarely experienced with this type of headphone creating a truly pleasing performance for your music.

BERYLLIUM DRIVERS

The key to this smooth sound is the use of Beryllium in the diaphragms of the 8mm speaker drivers we have developed. Beryllium is extremely light, lighter than Aluminium, but very rigid, even more so than titanium. This means that it can react quickly to small high frequency signals and reproduce them with remarkable accuracy.

PRECISION ENGINEERING

To avoid colouring the pure sound of the SE1s, the housing for the drivers is machined from aircraft grade Aluminium. High purity oxygen-free copper can be found in the connecting wires too. All in all, the SE1s bring you closer to the musical emotion of your favourite tracks.
